More than 3,400 developers are already innovating with Visualforce User
Interface-as-a-Service

SAN FRANCISCO - December 5, 2007 - Salesforce.com [NYSE:
CRM], the market and technology leader in on-demand business services, today announced it will
reach its next major milestone this month, surpassing one million paying subscriptions on its
award-winning service. Salesforce.com will achieve this milestone due to the industry momentum and
customer adoption of the Force.com Platform and Salesforce CRM application suite, which has
expanded from four to six applications with the addition of Salesforce Content and Salesforce
Ideas. Additionally, there has been rapid adoption of the developer preview of Visualforce as more
than 3,400 developers already have created more than 5,800 custom interfaces with the new
User-Interface-as-a-Service component of the Force.com platform.

"Our strategy of delivering both the Force.com Platform-as-a-Service and Salesforce core
Software-as-a-Service applications has driven a remarkable shift in the industry over the last
eight years," said Marc Benioff, chairman and CEO, salesforce.com. "It took seven years to reach
the first 500,000 paying subscribers and only another 16 months for the second 500,000. That's
incredible global momentum and adoption for businesses of all sizes. For a million subscribers
around the world, it's truly The End of Software."

Force.com and Salesforce Applications Deliver Customer
SuccessWith 38,100 customers and nearly 1 million subscriptions, salesforce.com is driving success
on demand for customers worldwide. Just as customers have adopted Salesforce first for
SFA, and then the full
suite of
CRM applications, they are now adopting the
Force.com platform to extend the benefits of on-demand applications throughout their entire
enterprises.

The Force.com Platform-as-a-Service offers the most comprehensive set of capabilities for
building any application on demand. Force.com PaaS provides the building blocks necessary to create
and deploy any business application and lets companies and developers focus on what their
applications do, rather than the software and infrastructure to run them. By replacing the
complexity of software platforms with a complete, scalable service, Force.com provides developers
the fastest path to turn ideas into business impact. The multi-tenant Force.com platform
encompasses a complete feature set for the creation of business applications, including the ability
to create any database on demand, a workflow engine for managing collaboration between users, the
Apex Code programming language for building complex logic, the Force.com Web Services API for
programmatic access, mash-ups, and integration with other applications and data, and Visualforce
for a framework to build any user interface.
